Electric Mining Equipment Market Report 2025

The electric mining equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.97 billion in 2024 to $3.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased government incentives, increased corporate social responsibility (CSR), resource scarcity, operational efficiency.

The electric mining equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing environmental regulations, increasing energy transition, increasing market demand for minerals, increasing health and safety regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization and data analytics, product innovations, partnerships, investments.

The forecast of 16.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Import tariffs on advanced electric mining vehicles can delay electrification efforts and sustainability transitions in mining operations. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing mining industry is expected to propel the growth of the electric mining equipment market going forward. The mining industry refers to the sector encompassing activities related to the exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation of valuable minerals, metals, and other geological materials from the earth's crust. It arises due to a confluence of factors, including the global population and expanding economies, that drive up the demand for minerals, metals, and fossil fuels. Electric mining equipment is utilized across various stages of the mining process, from excavation and loading to material handling and support tasks, to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance safety. For instance, in February 2023, according to a report published by the United States Geological Survey, a US-based government agency, in 2022, US mines generated roughly $98.2 billion in nonfuel mineral commodities, up $3.6 billion (~3.8%) from the projected total of $94.6 billion for 2021. Therefore, the growing mining industry is driving the growth of the electric mining equipment receiver market.

Major companies operating in the electric mining equipment market are concentrating on new innovative products, such as the XES35, a next-generation super 35m³ electric shovel excavator for open pit mining to leverage advancements and address market demands. This excavator, also known as a power shovel, is an excavator equipped with a shovel bucket that is attached to a hinged boom and is drawn backward to move earth. It is used for excavating and loading earth or fragmented rock in various mining and construction applications. For instance, in July 2023, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co. Ltd., a China-based construction machinery company, introduced the XES35, a next-generation super 35m³ electric shovel excavator for open pit mining. This electric shovel excavator is designed to excel in efficiency, sustainability, and safety, making it suitable for large-scale open-pit mining operations. It comes with a 35-m³ shovel bucket that can load about 65 tons of ore each time, and it is designed to be deployed for mining. Additionally, it provides advantages, including intelligent operation, sustainability and green operation, reliability and high availability, operational comfort and safety, and low comprehensive use costs.

In August 2022, Epiroc, a Sweden-based mining and infrastructure equipment manufacturing company, acquired AARD mining equipment for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Epriroc aims to strengthen its presence in the African market and enhance its underground product portfolio including low-profile underground machines for mines with low mining heights. AARD Mining Equipment is a South Africa-based manufacturer of mining equipment, including hydraulic rock drilling equipment and electric mining equipment.

The electric mining equipment market consists of sales of electric trucks, electric loaders, electric excavators, electric drills, electric haulage systems, electric-powered excavators, and electric pumps. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the mining sector, especially in areas such as equipment acquisition, export flows, and supply chain stability. Increased tariffs on imported heavy machinery, drilling tools, and specialized parts have driven up both capital and operational expenditures, leading to delays in project development and reduced production efficiency. Simultaneously, retaliatory tariffs from major trading partners have diminished global demand for U.S. sourced minerals particularly critical resources like lithium, copper, and rare earth elements intensifying revenue challenges. These impacts are hitting mid-sized and niche mining companies the hardest due to their reliance on international markets. In response, the industry is focusing on building domestic equipment supply chains, scaling up mineral recycling programs, and lobbying for tariff relief to regain competitiveness and safeguard long-term resource availability.
